Why weren’t you at the UAP briefing?

ICYMI — NEW: Ask a Pol exclusive post-Mayorkas briefing
PSA: Moran Interview Background
Ask a Pol spoke with Moran Dec. 4 shortly after 3pm EST as the Intelligence Committee member was exiting an all-Senators classified briefing on the Salt Typhoon hack, which overlapped with a New Jersey Congressional delegation briefing on the drone incursions by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Moran is one of many interviews Laslo did outside the all-Senate SCIF briefing, many clarifying what Booker initially told us, thus we were forced to publish a rare correction.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), slightly edited for clarity.

TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Jerry Moran
SCENE: After leaving the briefing in the Senate SCIF — or sensitive compartmented information facility — Sen. Jerry Moran is waiting outside of an arriving tram underneath the US Capitol when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo quickly catches him on the New Jersey drone incursions.
Matt Laslo: “Why aren't you at the UAP briefing?”
Jerry Moran: “I had that briefing.”
ML: “Oh yeah?”
Moran nods affirmatively.
ML: “How’d it go?”
JM: “I had it in the Intel Committee.”
ML: “The look on your face says...”
The look on his face…serious.
JM: “People ought to be very cautious.”
The robotic, unforgiving Senate tram doors slide open.
Ho, ho, ho. Consider chipping in to support our independent journalism —Venmo, PayPal, Cash App — or just buy us a beer!
ML: “Yeah?”
Moran enters the tram; Ask a Pol stays back in the Capitol to stake out the SCIF.
ML: “Was that one earlier today or...?”
JM: “No. It would just be one of the normal ones.”*
*when in session, the US Senate Intelligence Committee, meets biweekly, Tuesday & Thursday afternoons, historically, for classified briefings.
ML: “Yeah?”
Moran nods.
ML: “Yeah. Preciate ya.”
